Ed Romero
Milwaukee Brewers scout Felix Delgado “found [Ed Romero playing in the mountains of Puerto Rico two years ago.” Romero was 17 at the time. “After one workout, the Brewers signed … Romero, along with four others.” He came to the majors briefly in 1977 as injuries hobbled the Brewers infield and then returned in 1980 for good. He played a total of eight years in Milwaukee before being traded to Boston for Mark Clear. With the Red Sox, he played in 100 games during the Sox '86 pennant run but his playing time fell off in the years to come under manager Joe Morgan who pigeon-holed him as an off-the-bench utility player only. He concluded his career with stints in Atlanta, Detroit and a brief return to Milwaukee. All told, he played 12 years and over 2,111 plate appearances slashed .247/.298/.302. - SABR
